As we mop up and take stock of the results of election night 2025, Democrats are crowing that their party is "back." They may have flipped the governorship in Virginia, but they merely kept the governorship in New Jersey and the mayor's office in New York City. It is hardly a "referendum" on Donald Trump or Republicans. The residents of those places will now live with their votes, which will turn out to be an understatement for New Yorkers. But Republicans and conservatives should fear not, because sanity still reigns supreme in flyover country, more specifically, Texas.
Meet Jolanda Jones, a Democrat from the Texas state legislature who has sparked outrage after saying Democrats need to wipe out every Republican by slashing their throats.

While voters in Virginia were rewarding a Democrat candidate who openly advocated for the murder of his political opponent and his children, Texas voters soundly rejected their own Democrat candidate, who also had openly endorsed political violence against those with whom she disagrees. Texas State Rep. Jolanda Jones finished third in an all-party primary special election to succeed the late Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-TX), who died after just two months in office back in March. The top vote-getters in the race were Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee and former Houston City Councilwoman Amanda Edwards, both are Democrats. Jones' defeat eliminates her from a runoff election between Menefee and Edwards.
Fresh off the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Jolanda Jones had this to say to CNN's Erin Burnett on October 22 on the subject of redistricting:
So, if you hit me in my face, I’m not going to punch you back in your face, I’m going to go across your neck, because we can go back and forth fighting each other’s faces. You’ve got to hit hard enough where they won’t come back. And so, yeah, for the same way I went to New York and spoke with Governor Kathy Hochul and said if they’re going to try to wipe us out in Texas, we need to wipe out every Republican in New York, in California, in Illinois, so no one can make me feel bad about fighting for the people that I represent.

Stupid that we have to vote on this.

Back in August, during an appearance on Don Lemon's podcast, Jones compared the Texas GOP-leaning redistricting to the Holocaust. But the "go across your neck" reference was rightly a bit too much for voters in Texas's 18th Congressional District.
There were 17 propositions on the ballot, and voters in the Lone Star State passed all of them. Among those were several property tax exemptions, such as Proposition seven, which would amend the state constitution to exempt all or part of the market value of a house belonging to the surviving spouse of a veteran who died from a service-related disease. Proposition 11 would increase the property tax exemption from $10,000 to $60,000 on the value of a home belonging to an elderly or disabled person. Proposition 12 focused on making changes to judicial oversight policies, including the process for sanctioning and removing judges.

But Texans proved that common sense was alive and well by overwhelmingly passing Proposition 15, 69.87 percent to 30.13 percent, which affirms that "parents are the primary decision makers for their children.” They also passed by a margin of 71.95 percent to 28.05 percent Proposition 16, which simply states that "persons who are not citizens of the United States" cannot vote in Texas.
As residents of Virginia, New Jersey, and New York contemplate possible escape from those Democrat bastions, the good people of Texas should let them know that they are welcome, but their blue state buffoonery is not.
Texas, I ask for your vote TOMORROW‼️
